Escaping to a hotel that caters to your needs is one of the best things to look forward to when leaving town. Who doesn’t love room service, fresh soft linens, a daily cleaning visit, and a great shower? Who wouldn’t love these luxuries everyday at home to offer to your family or guests that are visiting? Ok, wishing for room service and maids may be a bit extreme but owning a hotel shower head is absolutly attainable. Those who travel often know that hotels that offer the best experience also offer a Speakman shower head. In fact, some hotels even ask for an exclusivly designed showerhead. The Westin Heavenly Dual Shower head was designed by Speakman to offer a manifold that holds two center massage jet showerheads offering 50 spray patterns each!
Resort shower heads that are featured in the Renaissance and Marriot are also made 
by Speakman. The S-2005-HB is one of the most highly demanded shower heads from Speakman. It is equipped with the Speakman Anystream® technology. With a slight turn of the handle, it is easy to rotate between a full coverage spray, gentle rain, or therapeutic, pulsating massage streams offering a combination of 50 sprays. Add that to eight center massage jets to waken yourself up to hotel luxury.
Another one of the featured resort shower heads is the Speakman S-2252. The Four Seasons, Fairmont and Inter Continental know the caliber behind solid brass shower heads. This may be the most compatible shower head that is offered due to its timeless design and 5 different available finishes. It is known as the Speakman Icon as it takes the legendary patented technology and offers a modern design.

(S-2859 Rain shower head)
Yes, in fact- Speakman Company did! The Speakman rain shower head will take anyone back to the experience of a waterfall’s drenching waters forcefully, yet comfortably, rushing out. Or, remember those youthful summer afternoons while playing outside and all of a sudden needing to take cover from an afternoon downpour thunderstorm? A raining showerhead will take you right back to those moments and offer one of the most detoxifying showers possible.
Love the luxury of spas? Downpour showerheads are luxurious in their design so that any bathroom will easily resemble the same oasis that is present in spas. Speakman has recently re-designed the look of their downpour rain shower head so that the face plate is now offered in the same smooth finish as its body. The s-2859 (pictured to the right) comes complete with the stylish “S” arm. The shower head is built of solid brass so that the components are of the same quality as the water’s rainfall experience.
Speakman knows how appealing the rain shower head is so they are offering it to the public at 25% off!! Go to speakmanshowers.com and enter speakman promo code RAIN11 at checkout!

When two minds come together- marvelous things happen. Speakman believes the same marvelous effect happens in your shower when a dual head shower head is installed. The Speakman Icon shower head is known for it’s timeless design and quality pressure delivery. It’s double the showering pleasure and act soon because rumour has it these treasures will eventually become unavailable in the U.S.
Who doesn’t love a little zen in the bathroom? Adding symmetrical dual shower heads against a slate wall standing upon river rock flooring will “wow” your guests! It’s the little accents that make a huge difference when working with bathroom space that tends to be the smaller of rooms in the house. Add a few bathroom suited plants, such as bamboo, and your new zen bathroom will be complete.
Another one of the famous double head shower heads is the Westin hotel shower
head. This shower head beats all the rest due to its offering of center massage jets. It was custom designed for the Westin to meet their “heavenly” expectations. Take notice to the handles on these shower heads. They are customizable so that each shower head can offer individual spray settings. Customizable quality?- only from Speakman!
Finding better home solutions that benefit the whole family is a wish come true to the Moms out there! It is undoubtably true that a hand held shower head is sure to make everyone in the family think their shower is the best out there! With so many different style options available, matching bathroom decor is a cinch. Speakman’s quality is infamous so this is one piece that will be loved for years to come!
The mom in the family is sure to love it for the ease of cleaning the shower. Speakman’s detachable shower heads feature a 5 foot hose that allows the shower head to stretch to all corners of the shower stall or tub and blast away those build ups. Not only that, but it makes for much easier cleaning of the family pet! Is there a teenage daughter in the house? The functionality of the removable shower heads allow her to easily wash her hair (as frequently as she requests) without having to go through the “hassle” of getting in the shower. What about small children? It can sometimes be a task to even convince them to bathe themselves. Here’s an idea: Get them excited to use the removable shower heads ”all by themselves.” They will get a kick out of being in control and shower- time will become much more enjoyable.
For the dad’s out there- it’s all about the quality. Speakman’s hand held shower heads 
are equipped with their patented plunger nozzle system that delivers a great spray intensity at any water pressure. Dad may also love the idea of installing a combination shower head. This will offer the best of both worlds. What would be better than having your fixed showerhead along with the option of using the detachable shower head as needed?
Iconic, Proven, Unbeatable… those are the first three words that come to mind when you think of the Speakman Anystream® Icon 64 Spray Showerhead (S-2251). This showerhead is known for its high quality solid brass components and performance that out weighs all the rest. It is no wonder Speakman calls this showerhead ”the #1.” The S-2251 Icon takes the legacy of Speakman’s technology and transforms it into a modern design that shows off its high quality in a stunning appearance. It is classic enough to fit any bathroom decor and comes available in 5 finishes (Polished Chrome, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze.) What makes it even more valuable is the technology behind it. It has 8 jets which make 64 spray channels. With an effortless turn of the handle, you can choose your sprays to be full-bodied, gentle rain, or a full flood. An even better benefit- it is an Anystream®, so that means it is a self- cleaning showerhead with unbelievable water pressure and is composed of solid brass. This showerhead was built to last!!!
Ahhh it’s the weekend… as the summer begins to calm down from all the festivities that kept us running around through the month of June; it is refreshing to know that we have a few beautiful weekends to spend at home. If you love decorating and fun remodeling projects, then these weekends are for you to take advantage of! It’s great to work on an at- home project in beautiful weather as you can work at your leisure. You can just have fun working on the project alone or make it a family event. Either way, it’s time to start thinking creative! 
With summer comes Saturday garage sales, and they seem to be around every corner. Go out early one morning and search for unique furniture that has potential to be remodeled into something fantastic. Be sure to think outside the box with this- don’t limit yourself to the normal sturdy, but worn, dresser that you are going to just sand down and repaint. Get a little creative with your finds. Did you know that book shelves turned horizontal and hung on the wall at waist height make great cubbies for stacking dinnerware in the dining room. Add some shelving dividers to make smaller compartments for organization, if needed.
If you are not in the mood for a treasure hunt at local garage sales or thrift stores, then take some of your own furniture and give it a new spin. Add pops of color to neutral pieces and find new spaces for it. Small changes like this make a big impact on the overall appearance of the room. Of course, a fresh coat of paint in any room will add instant freshness.
How about a quick change in the bathroom to reflect a hotel quality shower? I recommend a hotel showerhead , new luxurious shower curtain, and curved showerrod. Changing your showerhead may be the easiest DIY project for a Saturday Morning.
An American Bathroom Summertime is filled with patriotic remembrances. We begin with Memorial Day, celebrate the Fourth of July, and end with Labor Day. Decorating your beach house bathrooms to honor these summer holidays can easily be done. Bathrooms with these patriotic themes give such a warm feeling. The nice thing is that they can be done to suit any style, whether it is Country, Classic, Earthy, or Contemporary. The easiest way is to integrate stars and stripes inspired by the American Flag. Use the classic American stars as decorative fixtures against stripped backgrounds. Use stripped wall paper in cool or warm tones of blue and white to match with a cool or warm toned red star. Or, keep your walls white and add the star fixtures with blue and white stripped curtains. You can also use your shelving to add a patriotic theme. Paint the shelves striped blue and white or stencil them with the stars. Keep your eye out for interesting artwork that symbolizes the patriotism of America. In honor of protecting our land’s precious resources, use a watersense showerhead that will drop your water usage by 30%.
A Few Golden Rules: Like anything else- less IS more and size really DOES matter. Remember a few golden rules of decorating: If your bathroom is small, do not use dark colors for paint- stick to white or cream walls with red and blue accessories. If you choose to use wallpaper, be sure that the adhesive tolerates high moisture levels. The American décor will be huge focal points of the bathroom- don’t over-do it. Your décor should accent the overall look of the bathroom- try to avoid the bathroom resembling an American Flag museum room.
Summer is officially here! Our senses are quickly reminded of the fresh flowers, ripe fruit, salt water, and lingering food smells from the boardwalk. The sun is shining longer leaving us with more time for family fun in the outdoors. We are surrounded by friends and family for weekend bbq’s, days at the beach, and holiday celebrations. These days are followed by calm,warm nights as you cuddle up with your significant other on the patio. Summer time is something we all look forward to as memories are created that can be often repeated as the season reoccurs yearly. With Summer here and lots of time spent at your beach house- why not spruce up your bathroom? Here are few small tips that will give your bathroom at the beach some of your own summer energy…
Add a pop of summer color. Check out the bright colors that others are wearing this summer and add it to your bathroom. You could re-paint your vanity or bathroom cabinets in a day. Choose complimentary colors to your wall color or other accents and pop an otherwise white, tan, or black vanity.
Summer-ize your fixtures. Take that boring frame around your mirror and decorate it! Use sea shells that you collect on the beach to add a personal touch that will remind you every time you look in the mirror of the fun you had while collecting it. 
Install a downpour rain shower head. These are the BEST after a long day on the beach. The water comes out in heavy rain streams that creates a full body coverage deluging spray. You will feel like you stepped right under a waterfall.
Update your pictures. While pictures of the ocean are beautiful, wouldn’t it be exciting to take those photos of you and your family enjoying summer to create a collage. It’s a unique way to share your memories with your house guests.
Deciding to go green? There are many ways to become more eco-friendly around the house. Even the bathroom offers many easy switches to become more green. Going green can even be reflected in the decor that is chosen in the bathroom. Choose epa watersense showerheads from Speakman to cut 20% of your water usage. You will still have great pressure from your shower head and you won’t lose the water pressure that you love. To reflect your eco-friendly desires, let nature become your style of decor in the bathroom. Try using recycled glass bottles as vases to display an assortment of green sprigs from the outdoors! Allow your color scheme to reflect what is natural in our earth. Warm golds, true greens, and dusty browns create the perfect pallet to bring out the experience of a bathroom dedicated to preserving our natural resources.
